Hello Sunshine, Hello April!

When I think of April, I think of fun and sunshine. This Spring-Summer month is just full of excitement. We started it with the always crazy April fools day (April 1) and the blessed and joyous Easter (April 5). But we have so much to celebrate about this April. Here's a list of some cool April Holidays that we bet you have not heard of.

On this day, we rejoice and celebrate one of the yummiest stuffed bread in the planet invented by the  Spanish and the Portuguese.

According to Cookthink.com, Empanadas are baked or fried turnovers that are made with pastry dough and are stuffed with endless combinations of meat and/or vegetables or even fruits. Empanadas are usually shaped like half-moons and range in size from bite-sized to family-sized." 

APRIL 10 SIBLING DAY

Meet my Siblings, my brother Andro and my sisters Angel and Thea.

Having a brother or a sister will always be a blessing and having a day for this is indeed a joy! It was said to be created by Claudia Evart after losing both her sisters at an early age. 

They say that siblings are your immediate best friends. I say yes to this! Your sibling/s, apart from your parents would know you better than anyone else. Now this calls for "Sibling Bonding!" have coffee or dinner, watch a movie all together, make sure you spend this Friday with your brothers and sisters.
